On the dark, snowy roads of western New York, Dante Carloman and Tina Phokas lives take a turn no one could anticipate. The world around them erupts into a hellish landscape of combat as strange creatures clash with the US Army. Dante and Tina can only watch in horror as the alien force marches forward, laying waste to the soldiers trying to resist them.

Kidnapped and taken to a harsh, alien landscape, the humans must do whatever it takes to survive and escape their captors including making friends with people from all over the world who have been imprisoned, an artificial intelligence of questionable origin, and clones designed to emulate and destroy the human race.
